How to evaluate a stablecoin like Mountain Protocol USD
The honest checklist for USDM is short:
- Reserve quality — what backs USDM — cash and short Treasuries are safer than commercial paper or crypto collateral — and who attests to it.
- Redemption access — whether holders can actually redeem at par, and how quickly, under stress.
- Regulatory standing — the issuer's jurisdiction and licensing, which increasingly determines which stablecoins survive at scale.
